Before he became a professional, Nelson played at the Haverford School and helped lead the team to a 28-0 record and PAISAA championship as a senior, when he averaged 15 points and earned second-team All-State honors. Nelson also played two seasons George Washington and two at Delaware, where he earned all-conference honors in both seasons while averaging 16.8 points and 4.8 rebounds, before transferring to TCU for his final collegiate season.
Thomas has been in the Sixers system and averaged 12.5 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 3.8 assists in 36 regular-season games for the Delaware Blue Coats last season. He also was on their summer league team in July and averaged 4.5 points and 4.2 rebounds in four games.
Fall, listed at 7-foot-6, played in 37 games across three seasons with the Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics from 2019 to 2022, in which he averaged 2.2 points and 2.4 rebounds. Since then, the 30-year-old has played internationally with teams in China and New Zealand. Across four seasons of international play, Fall has averaged 11.1 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 2.1 blocks.
Exhibit 10 contracts are nonguaranteed deals in which teams can bring players into camps and potentially give them bonuses to sign with their G League team, assuming they don’t make the main roster out of camp.
